Subject: [DogPark] shar pei (abandoned or soon-to-be)
hi everyone.
this morning rob goodman (owner of lucy) and i were chatting
outside my building at 47th/Hazel. a man drove up in a white 4-door
sedan with tinted windows and asked if we wanted a dog...a shar pei
in the back seat with his little boy. it's a male, un-neutered,
about a year old very sweet, tail-wagging...one-year old. he was
wearing a collar (if i remember correctly, that was white with
words on it in black and red). the man urgently wanted us to take
it. he said he couldn't drive to the spca because his car wouldn't
make it. he said they didn't have enough time for it and it was
starting to get separation anxiety (though it seemed very calm in
the car). and he said "i see a lot of people around here walking
dogs and i was thinking about just putting it on someone's porch or
tying it to a pole, because if i let it go free it might get hit by
a car."
rob and i were both trying to get to work, etc. we tried to talk
him down on the pole idea. he had already been to clark park. we
suggested the baltimore pet shoppe or the vet school in case
someone could help him with a better idea or if someone there would
just take it. we also suggested the humane society and repeatedly
the spca. all the while the dog was wagging it's tail in the back
seat while the little boy was petting him.
so, if you see this dog it has been abandoned, unless it has a new
owner. he said it was pure bred, etc. it was all really weird and
he seemed to be in a huge rush to get rid of the dog. i feel really
bad about this. i had to get to work and it was very upsetting for
both of us.
